Also, I made something…
Figured that since Ozai looked so young in his portrait, that must mean it was made shortly after his coronation, or thereabouts, so applying that logic here, ZuZu stills looks young and handsome. The dragons, I know, that event was meant to be kept secret, but counter argument, this painting doesn’t necessarily say, “Hey, Dragons are still alive—here’s a map!” It’s just a bit of artsy-fartsy majestic embellishment. Also, I feel like Zuko might want to rebrand the Fire Nation, just a little, you know, after the 100 year war. So instead of just pure fire iconography, he brings things back to their roots, aka, the dragon. More dragon iconography!!! In this portrait, Zuko isn’t the one firebending, it’s the dragons, the first Firebenders. And in the meantime, he’s holding out a White Lotus. Now, I tried to use my Google Fu to find out if there was ever any symbol in Japan or Korea or China that meant “peace,” but my search results came up empty, so I figured that perhaps the lotus could become their version of, say, the olive branch. A discreet and tasteful way to include such a major part of the final battle while having a double meaning. Also, take note of the fact that he’s holding it with BOTH hands. In Japan, when one offers a gift, you always do so with both hands. And while I know it may look a little strange, Zuko towering over his friends—bro—this was always going to be Zuko’s Firelord portrait. He was always going to be the main focus. He just wanted to also include his friends and commemorate the day the war finally ended/his coronation. Anyway, that’s all for now… hope that wasn’t too much… and if anyone has any ideas for how to make it even better, pls let me know.
sokka doesnt just like meat. he NEEDS meat. the water tribes are based off the inuit people, who primarily ate meat. you know why? cause they live in the poles. where it's extremely hard to grow plants. so to survive, they eat meat. sokka's so shocked that aang's vegetarian because he wouldn't survive in the south not eating meat. sokka's love of meat is probably more than most people but hey at least he has a reason for it
This..... *chef's kiss*

i put this on a reblog but it deserves its own post tbh:
james defo had a crush on regulus in 6th year but in 7th year when he started dating lily, it was all forgotten. regulus had a crush on james in 2nd-4th year but after sirius ran away, regulus hated james and he had enough problems to deal with at home anyways. at least thats how i would see canon jegulus. its unrequited on both ends and they liked each other at different times. i also think james' crush was more attraction+sympathy for regulus' situation
zukki is such a fucking funny ship. really that kinda ship were character A is oblivious and characters B and C are trying their hardest to date them. zuko is like "i love hanging out with you guys but aren't i interrupting your date?" and sokka and suki are like "wdym this is our 30th date and we've been living together and sharing a bed for 3 months"
you can’t leave me hanging whats the rest of the spanish james headcanon because its just so perfect in my head he just is spanish
-🦝
Ahaha my raccoon friend is back!
(Accidental Thor energy there. Anyway.)
Okay so I have this headcanon that most witches and wizards are mixed races and/or ethnicities because if you think about it their communities are a lot smaller so they’re more likely to travel around and befriend witches and wizards in other countries, right? Not to mention that they can travel far quicker and easier than muggles can.
See this would solve the whole inbreeding problem because why marry your cousin when you could just as easily marry some hot dude from Australia?
(So it’s actually perfectly logical to have loads of Black and Asian people at Hogwarts, jkr is just racist, but we knew that already)
My headcanon is that Euphemia is Desi of some kind (I can never decide the specifics but she’s definitely South Asian) and English and Fleamont is Moroccan and Spanish. James grew up travelling between all four countries but (for some reason yet to be determined) they decided he would attend Hogwarts in the UK (maybe Euphemia went there and loved it or something? Idk).
I’ve always liked the headcanon that most witches and wizards know a few different languages and it definitely works with this headcanon so. James is fully fluent in English, Spanish Castellano, Arabic, and Hindi, as well as partially fluent in Spanish Catalan, Bengali, and maybe even Tamil and French? This might sound like a crazy amount of languages but I really think it’s just part of wizarding culture to know a lot of languages, you know?
Anyway now imagine James serenading Regulus and/or Lily in Spanish (this whole Spanish James headcanon came to me because I was listening to a Spanish song and it just made sense).
And if you think he wouldn’t wear a flamenco dress and do flamenco dancing on the tables in the Great Hall then you are wrong because he absolutely would (Sirius does it with him while Peter and Marelene start the rhythmic clapping and get everyone else to join in)
Uhhhh I can’t think of anything else rn but if I do I’ll add it on later (and anyone who sees this feel free to add on your own hcs as well)

thats true. i dont really know about the timing of the comics, but i think that aang and katara have both greatly matured since the show had ended and are probably ready to be in a relationship. idk if it's the younger/newer/social media generation but when i was 12/13/14, the age difference wasn't a big deal and i knew 12 and 14 year olds in relationships, so maybe i'm just not as affected
sorry to all the kataang shippers out there but kataang genuinely skeeves me out like
hes 12. shes 14. thats so weird to me. thats so Gross to me. thats a sixth grader, a kid brand new to middle school or even still in elementary school depending on location/school district, and a freshman in highschool.
and dont even say uM aCtUaLly HeS oNe HuNdReD aNd TwElVe i do not give the faintest fuck. he has the experience, mentality, physicality, all that shit, of a twelve year old. hes twelve. thats weird, thats gross, i dint like it
no judgment to kataang shippers though yall seem neato
